Making a comment to keep the idea alive.
I completely understand why they don't do this, however, I think it would be harder to justify not re-releasing a 2wd simply due to associated re-releasing the rc10.
Vintage racing seems to be reasonably popular in general (it's certainly a heap of fun), and every other car I've seen racing is an rc10. Most of them re-re. Given the easier entry to vintage racing with a re-release I think 2wd is the only way you would have a hope in hell of it making you money, since there are simply more cars/parts around, and therefore more opportunity to race and get involved at a reasonable non vintage price.
I love racing my cougar 2000 against a sea of rc10's, that thing is a rocket ship, but when I crash everyone on the stand cringes and wonders if they'll ever see me again.
Alternatively, I'd suggest this.
If you're not going to make the kits or parts any more, release the drawings. let us make our own. It's been declared by schumacher that it doesn't make financial sense to re-tool or re-release so open up your designs that are more than 20 years old so the public can keep their favourite toys going. Now that would give some serious cred.
I voted bosscat by the way, I loved my bosscat, I'd slap 16 year old me if I saw him selling it... oh well.
